The world around us is changing rapidly. Temperature and sea levels are rising while the loss of biodiversity is accelerating, and extreme weather events break new records. IPCC’s most recent report highlights that the impacts of climate change extend far beyond environmental damage, now affecting society's core systems.
This change in our environment also affect us as human beings. How will humanity adapt to living in a world where the environment is in constant flux? The psychological impact of such profound change may alter how we understand our place in the world and our relationship with nature. Will this human change maybe also help us in the future?
These and other questions are what the exhibition AFTERTIME seeks to examine. Through a series of interactive design provocations AFTERTIME explore the impact of climate change on the human mental condition. The exhibition features eight interactive prototypes addressing future challenges for the human existence.
